When government proves more efficient than private sector

Recently the AC-T carried an article that Medicare premiums would stay flat in 2014, the third straight year without an increase. Isn't it interesting that Medicare, insuring the older and less healthy segment of the population, can control medical costs and premiums while private sector insurers, covering a younger, healthier population, are continuously raising rates.

Strange but true when government is more efficient and cost-effective than private enterprise. Maybe the Affordable Care Act should reconsider the single-payer approach. In addition to better management, we would be eliminating the cost and aggravation of that massive software mess.
